CAO Flathead V660 Carb

The V660 Carb is the 6 x 60 in CAO's muscle-car-themed Flathead line — a big, box-pressed gordo with that signature flat top. The bigger ring gauge changes the experience a bit: where the smaller Flatheads punch hard, the Carb trades a little of that intensity for a richer, more rounded smoke. It wears the same dark Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper over a Connecticut Habano binder and Nicaraguan-Dominican filler.

What it tastes like

Cocoa and coffee lead, with cedar and earth filling in and black pepper adding a kick on the finish. The wide format keeps it burning cool and slow, letting the flavors stay smooth and balanced over a long smoke. It's still a medium-full cigar with plenty of body — just a touch more relaxed than the skinnier Camshaft.

If you like big ring gauges and dark wrappers, the Carb is a comfortable, flavorful hour-plus. The cigar strength guide is handy if you're judging the power, and the maduro vs Connecticut comparison covers what makes a Broadleaf taste the way it does.

The Flathead's bold blend and hot-rod styling made it a fan favorite. Save the Carb to your humidor and rate it in the Casa DNC app, then go up to the enormous V770 Big Block if you want the full muscle-car treatment.
